Remember last selected option in tools

Discussed in ksnip/ksnip#924

Would be great if Ksnip can remember the last selected option in each tool every new application start.

For example:

• in Marker, I use Marker Rectangle 99% of times
• in Number, I prefer Number Pointer instead Number by default
• 99% of times I prefer Drop Shadow instead No effect by default in Image effects
• ...

Every computer reboot (or after close ksnip and start) I need to select them again.

Thank's!

Thank's @DamirPorobic

I hope somebody of the KImageAnnotator developers can solve this!

[DamirPorobic]

@mserramanxa well, currently there is only one developer for ksnip and kImageAnnotator, that would be me xD

[mserramanxa]

ups!

double thank's for you @DamirPorobic

@DamirPorobic can you help me to find the part of the source code where I can change the default option for each tool please?

I'm not a developer (I'm a systems administrator), but if I can change this options on the source code I will try to compile it to cover my needs while you find the necessary time to resolve for everybody :)

I already looked on it, and I'm not familiar with C++. Apart, there are lot of occurrences for "marker" or "rectangle"

Thank's in advance!

I would like to have this feature as well ( I love shadowing captures, and I would like to get it by default), thank you

OR a button to save currently selected settings
OR the ability to set defaults using a config file

... would be extra-awesome. @DamirPorobic Thanks for the great work, it's already awesome 🤩
